After the best part of two years playing music together in various forms, defining their artistic direction, these three Sydney boys combined their love for blues and rock into a fusion of earthy riffs, pounding rhythms and raw yet soulful vocal melodies. Having spent several months working closely with Matt O’Connor (The A&R Department) at Sydney's elite Level 7 studios, The Desert Sea is proud to present their debut single 'Settle The Score', released June 18, 2012.

Recently the upstate New York folktronica duo SWIMMING IN SPEAKERS inserted themselves into the landscape of new releases with the debut full length, "Guessing the Others", a conceptual LP requiring close to four years of planning, mixing and tracking to get just right. Taken from that release, today's dose is the free flowing track "All We Have", our featured choice out of the sixteen excellent songs on this new album. This song starts off with the sultry vox from self taught vocalist Meadow Elizabeth, punctuated by the steadily increasing electronic beats bubbling up from below via multi-instrumentalist [...]

Sea Legs are an indie rock quartet that came out of Bateau Bay, Australia which we discovered via our friends over at the A&R Dept, purveyors of all good sounds ringing out from across the Pacific. The band apparently came about from of the ashes of the indie rock band, Modern Joy and are now reportedly based in nearby Sydney. We can't get enough of this anthemic track, apparently produced independent of any label. Take a listen and share some of the positive vibes below. [via the A&R Dept] [...]
Clap for Daylight is a 4-piece indie rock band from the Atlanta area. They have released the follow-up to their debut album Break Even , their Fire Escape EP, and today's Daily Dose is from it. Does this track have echoes of Radiohead's Paranoid Android? The band describe it as "an introspective, cinematic song that morphs and changes over time". Can't argue with that.

Today's featured single is taken from FLLR's second album "WASTED HEARTS", releasing in the UK and IRE on Monday 15th April. The label lists one influence of the Swedish group as Swervedriver, although likely more prevalent on the 'noisier' first release. This newest is described by the label as "Northern Sweden’s answer to Teenage Fanclub", a pretty good way to put it. Check it out and give your support at the links below.

"Tom Slatter is a singer-songwriter from London who writes steampunk and sci-fi inspired prog-rock songs. Described by the Steampunk Chronicle as ‘an experiment too far’, his music lies somewhere between Radiohead, early Genesis and Nick Cave. In March 2013, Tom released his third solo album, Three Rows of Teeth. The new CD contains songs about such clichéd subjects as fake spiritualists, murder, time travel, replacing one’s body parts with mechanical alternatives and flying an airship into a cloud full of birds with too many teeth. There is also mention of ravenous church steeples." [Bio] [...]

Cleft are a 2-piece turbo-prog band (Dan Beesley & John Simm) that came together in Manchester, UK in late 2011. They make massive, dirty, instrumental music using a guitar and some drums. They say that is best visualized as a machine that compresses 14 minute songs down to 3 minutes. You can find a free EP at the links below, all quality tracks!

On a day of corned beef sandwiches we are shining a spotlight on Liverpool band, Alpha Male Tea Party, whose track will serve as an ode to one of my least favorite meals. They play an aggressive yet melodic breed of guitar driven math-rock which nods to the likes of Brontide , You Slut! and Tera Melos . The three piece have have previously played with some IR favorites such as Adebisi Shank as well as And So I Watch You From Afar . In the last year or [...]
On their debut LP, All Dressed Up With Nowhere to Go, Bay Area post-punk revivalists Bears! Bears! Bears! intimately chronicle soured relationships, identity crises, and personal inadequacies in 10 gloom-and-doom dance tracks. Phillip Cala (vocals/bass), Ricky Rios (guitar), and Evan Leal (drums) formed Bears! Bears! Bears! in 2008, shortly after the dissolution of Batman Parade, Cala's high school four-piece.

Their recently released debut LP, All Dressed Up With Nowhere [...]

The Racer, an indie rock quintet out of Monroe, NY is influenced by the frequent commutes to NYC, tour van rides and road trips a group of bandmates inevitably experiences. “We usually picture driving to the music we make,” says lead singer Pete Marotta. “Maybe because most people in our area commute over an hour to NYC on a daily basis.” The music this band of friends makes does have a feeling of movement, especially their latest album, Passengers. With this release, out May 14th, The Racer takes the transportation motif to the next level. [...]
